RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Coritiba have reserved a luxury mansion for Ronaldinho in anticipation of signing the World Cup winner, according to Brazilian media reports.
The Uol Esporte portal said the three million US-dollar property in the southern Brazilian city of Curitiba will be Ronaldinho's new home, should he agree to join the first division outfit.
It boasts a 1400 square-meter swimming pool, six suites, a games room and a garage with capacity for 10 vehicles, the portal said.
Ronaldinho is understood to have agreed in principal to personal terms and is expected to sign a contract on Monday.
A major influence in the two-time FIFA World Player of the Year's decision has been the presence of his former Barcelona teammate and friend Juliano Belletti, now Coritiba's international director.
"It has been agreed that Belletti will take responsibility for Ronaldinho's affairs off the pitch," Uol Esporte said, citing sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
"Ronaldinho will live close to Belletti, and just a five-minute drive from the club's training facilities. Belletti will be like Ronaldinho's minder," the portal added.
Ronaldinho has been without a club since leaving Brazil's Fluminense in September 2015. In the past year he has made one-off friendly appearances in Peru, Ecuador, Guatemala, the United States and China, as well as participating in a futsal tournament in India.
